Saturday, November 12, 2022 - Marina Del Rey - Jetty Between Ballona Creek & the Marina

There's a gate that keeps cars & bikes off of this jetty, at the cross-over bridge (pedestrian & bike).

Today, the gate was open.
So, I rode the bike out to the end of the jetty as far as I can go.

This picture is from the end of the jetty where the smooth path ends.
It looks like the jetty goes out another 50 yards or so to a dead end.

This picture is a bit deceptive.
The jetty ends and there's a large pap to the perpendicular break water, where the boats travel in and out for the marina from the left.

This view is from the same as the above except looking inland.
The bridge in the distance on the right of the jetty is the bike bridge to cross over Ballona Creek.

I would guess that the jetty is about 1/4 mile long.

Looking south from the jetty across the out let of Ballona Creek.
The hills to the right in the distance is Palos Verdes.

They recently did work on the jetty.
They put these concrete sections with railing in.

The path on the jetty is now pretty smooth to the rocky end.


They also have a few of these "decks" that go out over the Marina side.  Looks like it's good for the people fishing.
